Kicking off the 2013 Fair season

The 27th edition of the SIVAL fair was held in Angers, France from 15-17 January. Angers, in the Maine-et-Loire department and in the Pays de la Loire region is home to the only event in France able to exhibit all at once technical advances, scientific changes and international market trends concerning specialty fruit and vegetable crops.

Likewise, the Salón du Végétal, the French fair which aims to boost the plant and flower industry, was held between 19 and 21 February, also in Angers. An international fair, a real showcase, with over 600 exhibitors and more than 15,000 visitors from France and other countries attending.

This is a fair with deep roots in France which has many requests for participation and which has a very small space for equipment suppliers, meaning that for ULMA Agrícola it has been a real privilege to be able to attend this event.

We have taken part in both events with our French representative, SVL, with whom we shared the respective 20 m2 and 12 m2 spaces at each fair. We exhibited our greenhouse structure adapted to the space available. At these fairs, we displayed equipment and images of several recently implemented works as a sample of the diverse range of products and solutions which ULMA Agrícola has to offer the market.
